in this bizarre bill ryan supported and who was ryan's co-sponsor on that bill? none other than todd akin. they have stood shoulder to shoulder in their fight against abortion for years. in fact, they've co-sponsored at least eight anti-abortion bills together. they have worked together. they have the sa but the past is now engulfing paul ryan. he no longer is mr. budget. he's mr. no abortion. so he's throwing akin under the bus. >> you co-sponsored abortion-related congressman akin. >> that bill passed by 251 votes. it was bipartisan. i think the hr 3 is the one you talked about. i think we had 251 votes, 16 democrats. i'm proud of my pro-life record. >> a bipartisan effort? 235 republicans voted in favor of no taxpayer funding for abortion act. 16 democrats supported it. calling it bipartisan? at best that's playing fast and loose with the facts. and those democrats who voted in favor after the words "forcible praip rape" were taken out of the bill. he's conflicted with the pride of his past decisions on abortion and his future as mitt romney's second in comman

>> thomas, we would like to get some questions to the candidate ryan. they are not offering a lot of media for the press following him. he will give local interviews today. i spoke with a campaign official this morning about the akin question. he will be asked about that. it will be interesting to see what they say about that. i asked why governor romney did not come out and demand that todd akin resign that senate race he is pursuing in missouri. the feeling among the campaign is it is almost a lose-lose situation for the governor. if he goes that far as senator scott brown of massachusetts has and asking for representative akin to quit and if representative akin doesn't quit, there may be hay made that mitt romney is the official leader of the republican party cannot able to control. paul ryan serves in the house of representatives. he is very pro-life. i doubt he will bring that up in the speech behind me. they will talk about we did build it. they will hammer president obama on the recent comments on small business owners. we're in a small steel com

i'm not ryan on eliminating the capital gains tax. i'm not ryan on the medicare tax. although he is. and these abortion rights. when is he going to say ryan's a radical, i'm a center rightist. >> number one, ryan is not the top of the ticket, romney is. you will not hear him say i'm not ryan. you will likely hear ryan saying that i am romney. i think that's the order of things. what you're seeing right now i would agree with bob on this point. there has been sort of a disconcerted effort to try to bring all of this together. and quite frankly, if you're going do go and open up this election from being a referendum on the last four years which i think it should be, to a choice election where you're going to bring ryan in, then you'd better have that script together. you've got to be on the same page from the first interview with cbs and 60 minutes where he started distancing himself away saying i've got my own plan fop what you just played last night where he says our plans are pretty much the same. you cannot start this argument, this discussion -- again i agree with
